Left or Right handed?

Yes yes, another question from the ninja. I'm trying to improve my game as much as i can, learn what i can from those who know all about it and apply that to my tactics and so on.

so here's me question

does using left handed (although being right handed irl) have any effect on your gaming? i ask this question because i've read that since you're right handed you process things on your right side faster, and that using lefty would give you a bigger view of your right. also in videos ive seen posted of people owning in like cpl matches and stuff most of them used lefty models.

i tried it once and the look of the gun threw me off, but so do badly made skins :laughing:

anyways, post your opinions on the lefty models and whether or not you think they improve your game in terms of sight and so on, cuz i wanna figure out why so many people use them

It doesn't matter - it's all preference. If you think you play better one way or the other it's all in your head.

But yes, playing with left handed models makes you better.

i use left since im a lefty, and after playing with it for a month or so, right looks weird to me.

I tried lefty a few times, for no other reason than it's "correct" as to which side the spent casings eject... did miserably...and switched back. But I usually have PiP TV going in the other corner so either side can be equally distracting.

and i tried left handed, and i honestly beleive it helps me by clearing up the right half of my screen which is where i tend to look most or else have the fastest and most accurate reaction to something in the right side of my screen.

and yang, you say you heard that snipers use left also....and well, i've been hardcore sniping since battlefield 2's l96a1 sniper unlock was released and i awp pretty decent so i guess that counts me in as a sniper

i also find it strange how i used to not be able to stand left handed at all before, but now i actually like it.
but i'm stickin with it from now on :thumbup:
